Class instructor will be Rachel Olivia Bishop. She has been practicing yoga for 6 years, is currently enrolled in a certified yoga teacher-training program, and offers a wide variety of yoga classes. This series of classes will focus on the active side of the practice, breathing, and body awareness. Bishop can lead you through the classes whether you are new to yoga or simply want to improve your yoga practice.

The yoga classes will be focusing on poses that increase body awareness and activeness. Bishop explains, "Starting with breathing exercises to clear your headspace, we will take a journey into yoga using a vinyasa style which includes a flow of different poses connecting your head, heart, and soul. We will then take time to check back in and relax before ending our class. "

Participants are welcome to bring their own yoga mat, blocks, straps, etc.; however, there will be a few yoga mats available at class. The cost for two classes per week (one on Tuesday and one on Thursday) for eight weeks is $160/person ($150 ages 60 and over) and pre-registration is required.
